The coverage that fills what main insurance leaves out.

Why supplemental coverage exists

The bill that breaks a budget usually isn’t the doctor — it’s everything around it: deductibles, coinsurance, travel, and the weeks of work you miss. Supplemental policies pay cash directly to you when something major happens, so a health scare doesn’t turn into a financial one. It’s worth remembering that medical bills factor into well over half of bankruptcies — and most of those families had health insurance.

What I help with

• Cancer insurance. A lump sum on diagnosis you can spend however you need — treatment, travel, or just keeping the mortgage paid while you focus on getting well.
• Critical illness. A lump-sum benefit triggered by a major event like a heart attack or stroke.
• Accident insurance. Covers the out-of-pocket costs of an injury — ER, X-rays, follow-ups — that your main plan leaves on you.
• Hospital confinement (indemnity). A flat benefit for every day you’re in the hospital, paid regardless of what your other coverage does.
• Disability insurance. Replaces a share of your income if illness or injury keeps you from working.

What to watch for

• The gap is bigger with a high-deductible plan. The more premium you’ve traded for a high deductible, the more an accident or hospital policy earns its keep.
• Most disabilities aren’t work-related. Around 90% of disabling injuries and illnesses happen off the job, so workers’ comp won’t cover them — that’s the case for income protection.
• The benefit is yours to spend. These policies pay cash to you, not to a hospital, so you decide what it covers.

How I help

We start with the gaps you actually have — based on your main coverage and your budget — rather than stacking up policies you don’t need. Independent, multiple carriers, no pressure.
